Three Escaped Prisoners

Three men - who were not the brightest of individuals - escaped from prison one evening. They knew that the authorities would be hot on their tail in only a matter of minutes, so they decided to find somewhere to hide on a nearby farm.

The first prisoner climbed an apple tree, then kept as still as he could within the dense leaves. The second crawled beneath the front steps of the farmhouse, then froze in place. The third prisoner covered himself with several burlap sacks, and they all waited for the inevitable search to be over.

Within minutes, two policemen arrived at the farm. They went first to the burlap sacks and nudged at them.

"Do you think anybody is in there?" one of the officers asked the other.

From beneath the folds of burlap, there came a sound: "Meeeoooow!"

"Bah, it's just a cat," the other policeman replied. The pair of them continued to scour the area, coming next to the house.

One of the officers pointed forward. "What about under the stairs?"

They were answered by a familiar noise: "Woof! Woof!"

"Nope," replied the second policeman, "it's just a lazy dog."

"Well, how about up in that apple tree?" the first officer asked.

As if on cue, a voice from within the branches responded: "*Mooooooooo!*"
